EU Energy Security Policies

Once established on the foundations of convergence and unity, the European Union faced common problems that each country alone could not tackle. Issues such as the environment, citizenship and immigration, common monetary and financial issues, energy and, finally, security were important common challenges for EU members. Meanwhile, the issue of energy and its relationship with security became one of the common and sometimes conflicting policy axes of the members. Policies such as the Green Paper and the Charter on Energy Security and many other such documents reflect the complexity of the issue of energy and energy security in general in the European Union.This descriptive-analytical article seeks to answer the question of what approaches the European Union has taken to its energy security issue. The hypothesis of the article is that the EU measures and actions, while approving various documents related to energy security, seek policies to diversify import resources and use other resources to reduce dependence on Russian resources.
